TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1997 House Quickly Passes! Bills Which Had Caused Much Debate (Continued from page one) at people in his district also are opposed to construction of a bridge at this time. The bill requiring voters at bond elections to be. fre€holders, hom steaders or persons paying personal property taxes was passed after some gument, 57 to 46. Another bill to turn over to county superintendents the work of inspect- ing classified schools also met with opposition, but was pased, 62 to 40. Fourteen measures were killed on reports of committees Monday after- among them the bill legalizing the North Dakofa safety council and making an appropriation for its sup- port, and a bill forbidding oil com- panies from issuing “master con- tracts” covering the sale of gasol 2 discount to all employes of an: Mrs, Craig Favors Bill Opening the discussion on the oil ’ e D. Craig, Benson cour y, said that more lobbying had b d with regard to it than any other bill has called forth at this session and that she had “heard e than one direction that Ny ¢| ed hi in con- nection with the bill and expressed hope that “no. member is mixed up in the handling of any money.’ L Twichell, Cass county, ma- or leader, said he believed d Craig's statement to be unfair and that he had-heard nothing of any money being passed around. He pressed the belief that any such rumors were groundless and pointed out that the lobbying on the bill had } been done largely by independent oil who favored its passage. in her remarks, had said ndard Oil company had ed to be intensely interested and its imterest seemed to be suf- nt reason for passing the bill. 1 A .

Price Still Too High ireich, Bottineau county, pointed out that the complaint of the independent oil dealers seemed to be that the Standard Oil company was setting the price too low but aid it still is too high and asked defeat of the bill. J. M. Thompson, Burleigh county id independent operators got n mpathy from him in view of the t that gasoline sells for three cents less in South Dakota than in North Dakota. ‘i The only effort to re-apportion the state which the house witnessed at this session failed when the house recommended defeat of a bill de- signed to make a re-apportionment *of legislative districts on the basit of the 1925 census. e F. J. Lyon, McLean county, point- ed the disparity in» the popula- tion of various legislative distri and contended that if the biil were unsatisfactory to the Independent * majority it could have been amended so as to be satisfactory. No one spoke against the bill or explained the reason for the action of the ap- portionment committee in recom- mending defeat but it was shouted down in a viva voce vote. ‘Advocates of the safety council fought valiantly for the bill giving it five cents from each automobile license fee but lost. William Watt, Cass county, objected that the safe ty council had not shown how was going to spend the $16,000 which would have been allotted it under the bill. / Fowler, Swett and others pointed out that the money would be spent in educational work, that big cor- porations.and other states are going into. the safety-prevention field and a real opportunity exists in North Dakota, They pleaded that a trial be made and that if only one life ‘were saved by the work it would prove worthwhile. An effort to rec- ommend the bill for passage wag defeated, 39 to 53. The bill requiring school boards to budget their expenses was ap- proved. by the committee of the whole after it had been amended to meet objections previously urged against it. As finally passed the method of determining and adopting the budget was materially simpli fied ‘Ag. College Appropriation Approved The bill carrying $288,000 for the agricultural college experiment work was approved by the committee of the whole. Approximately $20,000 was added by .the appropriations committee to the amount specified in the budget, the increases going to all the experiment substations in the state except that at Dickinson, which is partially supported by the federal government, ‘An attempt by Swett and Erickson to tack on $3,000 for the Kidder county demonstration farm _ failed. Until a few years ago appropriation: were made for 24 demonstration farms throughout the state but the only one mentioned in the present Dill is the McLeod farm in Richland county, Watt said special work is being done there which makes it ad- visshie to continue the appropria- * Tivo bills to amend the state hail insurance laws were shoved into the idiseard by the insurance committee despite strenuous efforts. of the Nonpartisans to save them. The |fedtures in each bill acceptable. to |the Independents will be incorporated in a bill already passed by the sen- ate, Independent leaders said. . H. Lee, Nonpartisan, Dunn |county, objected that this would be an attempt by the Independents’ to put “a little sweet into something bitter.” Other bills which went into the legislative limbo after brief debate were those eliminating the capitol power house and providing for powér service from the penitentiary plant: that permitting pardons to be issued on four-fifths vote .of the pardon board and the capital punishment bill. An attempt to debate the capital |punishment bill was cut off by | Speaker Carrg who pointed out that every member knew how he wanted to vote. The roll call showe against the bill and 51 favoring it.

Bjorli Jinspector under Miss Nielson |candidate for supermtendent of pub- instruction at the last election, had spent state funds —v chools in July and August, Nielson : “That would ha been impossible since there were no schools in session to visit. Sena- tor Ployhar said he got this from he auditing board's records. That sehood, for no expenses show the object of visits. There is nothing there to show whether he was*there iting schools or talking to school boards “It is true Mr. Bjorlie traveled in July and August as every high school inspector has and will do in the f ture, but he was not visiting schoo! and he was on legitimate business connected with the office of high school inspector. M® Bjorlie did more than visit schools. Under the law, the department of public in- struction is required to pass on all plans for building and repairing school houses. Mr. Bjorlic id charge of this work for all high schools and consolidated schools. He had many calls to consult the school boards regarding repairs and new buildings, and many. new build- ings went up last year. 4 Office One of Service “He had charge of the supervision of the curricula for the high schools of the state and was called many times to consult with principals and boards of education. He had many requests from county superintendents and city superintendents to speak at school officers’ meetings and other educational meetings. We tried to make our office one of service to the people of the state and Mr. Bjorlie, through his wide experience in ad- ministrative work and his excellent educational qualifications, was able to be of great service to those con- nected with schools in North Dakota. He was much in demand and untiring in his energy and effort to be of service. “He did travel a lot in October, for that is the best time of the year to visit schools, but at all times he was doing the work connected with his office and not playing polities, “If Mr. Bjorlie had devoted more time to al situation he > id no part of the funds! a Dur-| het high} t ‘| Donnelly Claims would have been state superintendent because he lac a few votes} which could ea: een changed | had he spent h playing po tics instead of attending to, his work.” How Much Do You Know About Life of George Washington?
